Kure Beach offers dog park

Man’s best friend isn’t allowed on the municipal strands of Carolina Beach or Kure Beach during the peak-season months (April 1-Sept. 30), which leaves the north and south ends of Pleasure Island (Freeman Park and Fort Fisher). If you can’t make it to the pet-friendly beach areas, take your pooch over to the Gurney Hood Barking Lot at Joe Eakes Park, K Avenue and South Seventh Street in Kure Beach. The fenced dog park, which has separate areas for large and small dogs as well as doggie drinking fountains and Frisbees, is the only public area in Kure Beach where you can let your pup off its leash to romp and play. The Town of Kure Beach provides pet waste bags for your use. The park is open from sunrise to sunset every day. Details: www.townofkurebeach.org or 910-458-8216.
